[quote=Anonymous]I wasn't adopted, but my parents and brother all are more conservative (politically), and I have become very liberal. The weird thing is, I don't feel like my politics is a rebellion -- to me, my politics are a natural outgrowth of the values my parents raised me with, and it's harder for me to understand why they are conservative. My daughter was adopted. She's only 6, so at this point it's hard to say how she fits philosophically. At this point, I do know that she's both more physical/athletic and more extroverted than my husband and I are. The athletic part is pretty easy -- we sign her up for sports programs and classes. The introvert/extrovert thing is harder; my husband and I both need a certain amount of "alone time" -- not necessarily physically isolated, but time inside our own heads -- and she would rather not ever be alone if she could avoid it. Trying to figure out how to balance everyone's emotional needs is a challenge.[/quote]
